Terminator Reboot Set For 2015
 

Paramount Sets ‘Terminator’ Relaunch For June 26, 2015

Paramount has confirmed the long in the works deal to cofinance and distribute the reboot of James Cameron’s Terminator franchise creation. Highbrow picture maker Megan Ellison spent over $20 million for the rights in 2011, and the project didn’t go very far. Things finally started percolating when Megan Ellison and her Annapurna Pictures joined forces with brother David Ellison, whose Skydance Productions has a deal with Paramount and makes popcorn movies. Avatar’s Laeta Kalogridis and Patrick Lussier have been working on the script for months. Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the title character and the hope is to get at least two movies done before North American copyright reverts back to Cameron, who might want a fortune or might want to retire the franchise. Here’s the announcement:

a girl is in charge of terminator

just great

A reboot? JFC

Great the Terminator Alzheimers....I'll be back.....I think....

Why?

Why the hell does terminator need a reboot?

There was nothing wrong with the original

I don't want to see flabby Arnold make any more Terminator movies. It be like watching Holyfield fight again.

I've got lots of nostalgia from the originals. Hopefully this doesn't shit all over that.

it seems like all they do anymore is remake movies

how many different spider mans can there be?

expanding or continuing the story is one thing, but i really hate when they go back and make up a new story

1. It didn't need a reboot
2. If you do a reboot anyway, why the **** would you keep Arnold? He can't exactly pull off badass robot these days.

:doh!:


lazy,greedy bastiges

You're missing the most important part of this press release: Skydance Productions.

World War Z, Ghost Protocol, True Grit, etc.

It was a brilliant move on her part to purchase the rights for such a small sum because she'll undoubtedly make a decent ROI.

Arnold isn't flabby. I saw him at the Palm recently and he looked great.

In regards to Spider-Man, it was either reboot the franchise or see the rights revert to Marvel.

Not defending, just explaining.

Yeah, rebooting doesn't make much sense. It seems to me that a better idea would be to set it up with another timeline, another terminator, etc.

Something along the lines of Skynet somehow figuring out that their attempts to kill John Connor didn't work, so they need to take a different tactic in order to defeat the humans.

He does?

There is no time stamp on that picture, nor is there any way to verify its authenticity.

Regardless, I saw him recently and he looked great with clothes on. I don't think anyone is heading to see the Terminator in his skivvies, are they?

a reboot? wtf

The first 2 could never be out done

Personally not too excited about this. I think there is nowhere else creatively for the series to go. It's been tapped out. Hollywood is crazy for anything with "built in awareness" right now.

Nice night for a walk?
You time travel Naked.
Im pretty sure they're just going to do what they did in salvation anyway.
It was 84 all over again.

Then they'll use CGI to clean him up. But seriously, who wants to see a 65 year old man naked?

I'm of the opinion that any Terminator movie without James Cameron is rudderless. T3 was absolutely awful and while T4 was "better", I don't like the way they played around with the mythology. In the end, it was a crappy movie that was completely unnecessary.

However, I really enjoyed the series on Fox. I liked the mood, the direction and the overall vibe. It's a shame they kept moving it around on the schedule, which hindered it greatly from growing an audience, but that's nothing new for Fox.

The only hope that I have for a new Terminator series is that Skydance is producing. Their recent track record has been very, very good.

I remember that picture. It's 5 or 6 years old from right after he had some major surgery - I think it was heart surgery.

He's tightened himself back up since then.

When I saw him a few months back, he really looked great. Totally fit, tan and fresh. He was wearing a "summer suit", so I didn't see him topless, but he looked as good as any 65 year old man can look.

Oh, and there's no way he's 6'2 anymore. I'm 6'1 and he was at least 2 inches shorter than me.

This is going to go well I'm sure.

I'd rather see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a spaghetti western than in a reboot Terminator movie.

If it were anyone but Annapurna (Zero Dark Thirty an others) and SkyDance, I'd be concerned.

Both production companies have had a great track record recently and there's no reason to expect them to produce a stinker.

Yes, how awful for people with an opportunity to make a pile of cash.

2015 is looking a bit crowded: Avatar 2, Avengers 2, Fantastic Four, Finding Dory, Hunger Games 4, ID4:2, Jurassic Park 4, Man Of Steel 2, M:I;5, Pirates 5, Prometheus 2, Star Wars 7, and now a new Terminator film

/democrats

I'm a big terminator fan as much as the next guy but for all that is decent and holy please stop.

Yes if only Fox didn't hire Summer Glau, is there any series she hasn't killed?

Hot actress but man everything she joins gets cancelled too soon!

Clearly you've never seen Terminator Lemon Party. :doh!:

Eww, I don't think I want to, either.

Summer of GoChiefs

I thought the last one was good, but I have a feeling I am in the minority.

another name change but still the same troll douche

I thought they were done with Pirates.

Nah, there's a five. Johnny will do them as long as he approves the scripts because he loves the character.

I thought there was a 5 and a 6.

Johnny will do them as long as the $$$$$$$. Is right. :). Who could blame him?

As long as the scripts AND the money are there, he'll continue. He recently dropped out of the Whitey Bulger biopic because they refused to meet his quote.

It's a shame because he would have killed it.

I wonder when Johnny will start trying to chase down an Oscar when he's satisfied with his loot in big budget films.

Question, Do you believe that the Amber Heard/Depp relationship is a front on her part to get more paying gigs, and rug munch on the side?

Uh, the second part is a little grey area for me. I'd prefer not to comment.

Johnny, like any other actor, trusts his agents and advisers. If he decides to work for less than his quote, then other studios and production companies will hold him to it. You're only as worth as much as you're worth.

But if a big, juicy role came along, he loved the script and felt it was an Oscar-worthy leading part, I'm sure he'd take a long hard look.

I really liked the most recent terminator, it ranks right up there with t2. Instead of a ****in reboot, why don't they make another badass modern one in the vein of the last?

I see suck all over this.

Johhny is an interesting case. He worked for years and years in more quirky and prestige roles before he hit it gigantic. It seems like its usually the opposite. Your bigger when your younger, but then your box office appeal declines as you get older.

But he didn't move to Hollywood to become an actor...

Whew. I thought I was the only one.



It was gritty, and I love seeing the old T models.

Does any movie these days get green lighted to production unless it has a chance to make a BILLION $'s?

Of course, Dude!

There are tons of smaller films going into production each day. It's just that those films don't have the budget for press and probably wouldn't be interesting to people that don't seek out smaller films.

Man I loved the show on Fox. Was very disappointed when it got cancelled.

I don't know I'd say many if not most of the roles I've seen him in have been fairly classic 'Depp' style roles, it's just that some hit bigger at the box office than others. He's been nominated for a number of oscars I can't believe that at some point he won't win one.

I think that's been part of the key to his success and somewhat early failures, I believe he's picked roles that he loved. With the talent he has, if he loves the role eventually he's going to get the award. I remember when I first heard about the remake of Willy Wonka I was disappointed until I heard that Depp was going to be Wonka. He's one of the very few actors who could capture that same quirkiness that Gene Wilder projected in that role.

One remake that could be absolutely hilarious with him if there's the right team would be Depp in a Young Frankenstein remake. Done well it would be a riot. The question is if it would make enough money to be green lit(and if brooks and wilder would do a modern remake).

Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles was fantastic.

**** Fox.

I ****ing hated it they shat on Cameron's time travel rules which ruined it for me. Summer Glau couldn't mimic voices like the T-800, and she was supposedly a more advanced model.

I still think T2 is one of the best action flicks ever.

T3 was pretty meh, whatevskis. Worth a watch but I haven't seen it in about 6 years and don't have any desire to.

I actually went back and watched The Terminator after I had seen 2 and 3 and thought it was pretty good despite its age.

The latest Terminator with Bale and Worthington was pretty good as well. The action scenes were fantastic, it was cool to finally see the post-apocalyptic world Sarah Connor was warning us about, and, of course, the Arnie nod was pretty cool too.

.... I'll watch this one.

I've forgotten though, what was Skynet's ultimate goal? Just to destroy all humans?

I only remember it "became self-aware" and just started launching nukes everywhere.

"Humans are innately destructive and it's in our nature to destroy ourselves" T-800

So they want to beat us to the punch?

Yes, because we are danger to ourselves, and thus in the machines mind it's better to end the suffering.

Skynet was basically covering its own ass.
It didnt want to have to go through the trouble of building the Matrix.

of course not....he moved to Hollywood to be a rock star, date Gabrielle Anwar (yum) and have Faye dunaway as his agent!

Johnny's a very good guitarist

He is best buds with Keith

He was good long, long before that

Yes, and with that he was Keith's respect.

They just need to do Terminator vs. Judge Dredd or Terminator vs. Predator or aliens..

I remember TSCC, it was a solid show. I've heard that if it ever comes back the cast would be interested but it sounds like the owners would rather do movies. Miss that show

Well now that SkyDance and Annapurra own the rights, theoretically, they could bring it back to TV. Unfortunately since it failed on Fox, it's not likely to garner much interest.

I'm afraid you're right but these diehards don't want to give up. I for one am excited to see a fresh terminator flick. T4 was disappointing esp since I like Bale.

http://www.savethescc.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=72

The SCC should die in a post-apocalyptic shit infested, rabies ****ed, AIDS ridden antifreeze fire.

It may not fall in line the canon (like T4) but it was a well written, well acted and well produced program.

Which is more than I can say about 90% of all free network TV.

Like you, T3 and T4 doesn't exist in my mind because of Cameron's non-involvement and his opinion that the Terminator narrative ended at T2.

I think the original could be done better with CGI than the stop motion animation in the original. But Arnold is too old now.

They're going to send a unit back in time to cyber bully John Connor until he commits suicide.

Jeff Francoeur will star as the T-800

‘Terminator: Genisys’ Sequels Get Release Dates in 2017 & 2018

Summer 2015′s Terminator: Genisys – the fifth movie installment in the Terminator franchise overall – is shaping up to be a “soft” reboot of the sci-fi property; last year, Paramount Pictures also confirmed that the film will be “the first in a stand-alone trilogy” of movies. Paramount has now officially dated the two sequels to Genisys for theatrical release in 2017 and 2018, respectively, which lends credence to those older rumors that the films will shoot back to back over the course of nine months.

The first Genisys sequel (which is being called Terminator 2 for now) will reach theaters on May 19th, 2017; that’s one week after a currently-untitled Marvel Studios film (possibly either Inhumans or Thor 3) is due for arrival. Terminator 3 will follow just over a year after on June 29th, 2018, which is one week before another currently-untitled Marvel Studios film (probably the movie that will begin Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Avengers 3 opens in May that same year).

There’s also a new Terminator TV show in development – one from the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles writers/producers Ashley Miller and Zack Stentz – that will tie into the movie reboot trilogy, much as the Marvel/ABC series Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. occasionally intersects directly with events depicted in Marvel Studios’ film releases (while still exploring independent stories that occur in the same universe).


Very little has been (officially) revealed about the story for Genisys, though we know the plot involves a T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) – one whose biological exterior has aged - and Sarah Connor, John Connor, and Kyle Reese, now played by Emilia Clarke, Jason Clarke, and Jai Courtney, respectively. We also know that two new characters – being played by J.K. Simmons and Matt Smith – will be introduced in Genisys, as the setup for them to become more important players in the followups (possibly the same will hold true for Dayo Okeniyi as Danny Dyson).

Genisys is based on a screenplay penned by writer/producer Laeta Kalogridis (Avatar, Shutter Island) and writer/director Patrick Lussier (My Bloody Valentine, Drive Angry), with Alan Taylor (Thor: The Dark World) serving as helmsman on the project. It’s not clear which, if any, of these three individuals will be returning to work on the next two Terminator films; nor, for that matter, has it been revealed just yet how, exactly, Genisys will re-imagine/update the mythos and/or subtext of the Terminator property.

The Genisys screenwriters have backgrounds in, respectively, science fiction and horror fare, which has us hopeful that the Terminator franchise (soft) reboot will find a way to smartly blend elements from those genres - as James Cameron’s The Terminator and T2: Judgement Day did. We’re also hopeful that Taylor will improve as a director, after having first gotten his feet wet on The Dark World, and make Genisys worthy of being called the “Batman Begins of Terminator movies,” so to speak – thus giving everyone all the more reason to see the story continued over two more films.

As such, the question is – will there be enough audience demand to justify resurrecting the Terminator brand as a multi-platform franchise? Schwarzenegger’s star power isn’t what it used to be, and now superhero/comic book movies tend to feature many of the same elements as the Terminator series – be it time-travel narratives (see: X-Men: Days of Future Past) or advanced A.I. gone rogue (see: next year’s Avengers: Age of Ultron) – but in a world of, well, superheroes. That said, best to wait and see what happens with Genisys first, before making bets either way.

Terminator: Genisys opens in U.S. theaters on July 1st, 2015, followed by the next installment (Terminator 2) on May 19th, 2017 and the final installment in the trilogy (Terminator 3) on June 29th, 2018.

I actually liked the alternate ending on the T2 DVD...

I still miss the Sarah Connor Chronicles. :(
